Novel Kuramoto model with inhibition dynamics modeling scale-free avalanches and synchronization in neuronal cultures
Dario Lucente, Letizia Cerutti, Martina Brofiga +5
Neuronal cultures exhibit a complex activity, bursts, or avalanches, characterized by the coexistence of scale invariance and synchronization, quite stable with the percentage of i…
Janus Percolation in Anisotropic Limited-Degree Networks
Jacopo A. Garofalo, Nuno A. M. Araújo, Lucilla de Arcangelis +2
Many real-world infrastructures, from sensor and road networks to power grids, are spatially embedded and anisotropic, with constraints on the maximum number of links each node can…
Optimal Control of an Electromechanical Energy Harvester
Dario Lucente, Alessandro Manacorda, Andrea Plati +2
Many techniques originally developed in the context of deterministic control theory have been recently applied to the quest for optimal protocols in stochastic processes. Given a s…
Stochastic Model for a Piezoelectric Energy Harvester Driven by Broadband Vibrations
Angelo Sanfelice, Luigi Costanzo, Alessandro Lo Schiavo +2
We present an experimental and numerical study of a piezoelectric energy harvester driven by broadband vibrations. This device can extract power from random fluctuations and can be…
Inference of Time-Reversal Asymmetry from Time Series in a Piezoelectric Energy Harvester
L. Costanzo, A. Baldassarri, A. Lo Schiavo +2
We consider the problem of assessing the non-equilibrium behavior of a system from the study of time series. In particular, we analyze experimental data from a piezoelectric energy…
Fluctuation-Dissipation Relations in the imbalanced Wilson-Cowan model
M. K. Nandi, A. De Candia, A. Sarracino +2
The relation between spontaneous and stimulated brain activity is a fundamental question in neuroscience, which has received wide attention in experimental studies. Recently, it ha…
On the scaling of avalanche shape and activity power spectrum in neuronal networks
Manoj K. Nandi, Alessandro Sarracino, Hans J. Herrmann +1
Many systems in Nature exhibit avalanche dynamics with scale-free features. A general scaling theory has been proposed for critical avalanche profiles in crackling noise, predictin…
Microscopic theory for the diffusion of an active particle in a crowded environment
Pierre Rizkallah, Alessandro Sarracino, Olivier Bénichou +1
We calculate the diffusion coefficient of an active tracer in a schematic crowded environment, represented as a lattice gas of passive particles with hardcore interactions. Startin…
Stochastic thermodynamics of a piezoelectric energy harvester model
L. Costanzo, A. Lo Schiavo, A. Sarracino +1
We experimentally study a piezoelectric energy harvester driven by broadband random vibrations. We show that a linear model, consisting of an underdamped Langevin equation for the…
Getting hotter by heating less: How driven granular materials dissipate energy in excess
A. Plati, L. de Arcangelis, A. Gnoli +3
We investigate how the kinetic energy acquired by a dense granular system driven by an external vibration depends on the input energy. Our focus is on the dependence of the granula…
Role of inhibitory neurons in temporal correlations of critical and supercritical spontaneous activity
Dario Raimo, Alessandro Sarracino, Lucilla de Arcangelis
Experimental and numerical results suggest that the brain can be viewed as a system acting close to a critical point, as confirmed by scale-free distributions of relevant quantitie…
Predicting brain evoked response to external stimuli from temporal correlations of spontaneous activity
A. Sarracino, O. Arviv, O. Shriki +1
The relation between spontaneous and stimulated global brain activity is a fundamental problem in the understanding of brain functions. This question is investigated both theoretic…
Diffusion properties of self-propelled particles in cellular flows
Lorenzo Caprini, Fabio Cecconi, Andrea Puglisi +1
We study the dynamics of a self-propelled particle advected by a steady laminar flow. The persistent motion of the self-propelled particle is described by an active Ornstein-Uhlenb…
